Director's Cut Set Design - 87 - © Frost Design
Sydney Dance Company
One of the key considerations for the Cut set was that whatever was produced had to be easily transported around the world. It also needed to work with complex rigging structures that could change from venue to venue. Keeping this in mind, we thought that it would be interesting for the set to be a completely separate structure that grows upwards, rather than being a stiff and cumbersome physical structure that relies on its surrounding environment and drops from the ceiling. Drawing on the 'cut' theme, we made the set an organic and delicate structure – with its own 'skin' that makes it vulnerable to being cut. The set weighs a mere 60kg and saved the company considerable transportation and building costs. We designed the set so that the act of inflation could be part of the performance. The material interacts with the light and the dancers in different ways throughout the performance, with invisible tie-lines that allow it to move and change shape. The inflatable set was created in collaboration with Nick Crosby, from the London company Inflate.
